Ie, seperating the sound elements via sampling.
No sampler can do this, but clever use of filtering etc.. can help a little but that is very dependent on the frequency content shared by each instrument in the song.

Samplers can record audio from any source. They record what you play into them via a mic or direct source.
Depending on what brand the sampler is and, its capabilities are, can then alter the sampled audio and be play backed via a midi controller.
examples like looping, transposing, percussion etc. Samplers are very very useful tools. They have revolutionized the music industry.
